Assigning Colors to bar charts

Hi there folks,

Would really appreciate it if i could get some help on this matter,

I have a bar chart that displays 3 bars. 3 separate colors have been assigned to each bar depending on the group it represents.

The problem is each time there is different data being pumped into the graph the assigned color of each bar keeps getting switched. Is there anyway that we could permanently assign a color to a bar ??

Thanking you in advance for your help.Hi,

When you say the colours have been assigned to a specific bar do you mean through the Chart Colour Format Expert? If you do then I would suggest you play around with which field or value you are using within the parameters.

If you dont then go to: Right-click chart> Chart Expert> Untick Automatically set chart options> Options Tab> Chart Colour Format Button.

In here (it is very similar to the Select Expert) you can assign a specific colour to a given parameter (i.e. if {SO_Header.SO_No} in 10000 to 20000 then the bar will appear red and so on)

If you have tried this and it still goes screwy when the values change then I would suggest building in a tollerance. So instead of saying if {woteva} = 10 then woteva, build in a comfort zone by using the <in to> operators as above.

Hope this helps. Please post results for other users and for any more help.

aspx page and Reporting Service

Generally, when I type http://MyServer/Reports in the location, it takes me
to the home page. On that page I see a bar with "New Folder", "New Data
Souce", "Upload File" and "Show Details" options. Below that I see "Sales
Reports" and "SampleReports" folders. Clicking those links it takes us to
the list of reports.
How can I add a folder there called "Maintenance" (Where I see "Sales
Reports" and "SampleReports" folders i.e Home page). Clicking that link it
should list all Maintenance programs available (For Example, "ReasonCodes").
That link should take us to the aspx page.
Any Suggestions?It sounds like you're trying to mix aspx pages and report manager pages.
That's not really possible using the default Report Manager. You can either
build a custom report manager that replaces the user interface, or have a
separate "Maintenance" web virtual root.
You might be able to pull this off by simply creating a report that is
nothing but links to maintenance pages that sit outside of (next to)
Reporting Services.
So the URLs would look like this:
/Reports/Folder1
/Reports/Folder1/Report1
/Reports/Folder1/Report2
/Reports/Maintenance < report with links
etc.
/Maintenance/ReasonCodes.aspx < regular ASP.NET page in separate virtual
directory from reporting

customizable. What you see is what you get. As you add more objects,
reports, folders, files, etc. Reporting Services will manage the list & menu
choices for you.
